Protractor-Cucumber-TypeScript Setup Guide

This project demonstrates the basic protractor-cucumber-typescript framework project setup.

Medium Article

Please do checkout my medium article which would give you more insight on this setup. protractor-cucumber-typescript(Medium)

Features

  • No typings.json or typings folder, they have been replaced by better '@types' modules in package.json.
  • ts-node(typescript execution environment for node) in cucumberOpts.
  • All scripts written with > Typescript2.0 & Cucumber2.0.
  • Neat folder structures with transpiled js files in separate output folder.
  • Page Object design pattern implementation.
  • Extensive hooks implemented for BeforeFeature, AfterScenarios etc.
  • Screenshots on failure feature scenarios.

To Get Started

Pre-requisites

1.NodeJS installed globally in the system. https://nodejs.org/en/download/

2.Chrome or Firefox browsers installed.

3.Text Editor(Optional) installed-->Sublime/Visual Studio Code/Brackets.

Setup Scripts

  • Clone the repository into a folder
  • Go inside the folder and run following command from terminal/command prompt
   npm install 
  • All the dependencies from package.json and ambient typings would be installed in node_modules folder.

Run Scripts

  • First step is to fire up the selenium server which could be done in many ways, webdriver-manager proves very handy for this.The below command should download the chrome & gecko driver binaries locally for you!
npm run webdriver-update
  • Then you should start your selenium server!
npm run webdriver-start
  • The below command would create an output folder named 'typeScript' and transpile the .ts files to .js.
npm run tsc
  • Now just run the test command which launches the Chrome Browser and runs the scripts.
npm test

Writing Features

Feature: To search typescript in google
@TypeScriptScenario

  Scenario: Typescript Google Search
    Given I am on google page
    When I type "Typescript"
    Then I click on search button
    Then I clear the search text

Writing Step Definitions

    import { browser } from 'protractor';
    import { SearchPageObject } from '../pages/searchPage';
    import { defineSupportCode } from 'cucumber';
    let chai = require('chai').use(require('chai-as-promised'));
    let expect = chai.expect;

    defineSupportCode(function ({Given}) {
    let search: SearchPageObject = new SearchPageObject();

        Given(/^I am on google page$/, async () => {
        await expect(browser.getTitle()).to.eventually.equal('Google');
    });
})

Writing Page Objects

import {$} from 'protractor';
    
export class SearchPageObject {
    public searchTextBox:any;
    public searchButton:any;

    constructor() {
        this.searchTextBox = $("input[name='q']");
        this.searchButton = $("button[name='btnG']");
    }
}

Cucumber Hooks

Following method takes screenshot on failure of each scenario

After(async function (scenarioResult) {
        let world = this;
    if (scenarioResult.isFailed()) {
            let screenShot = await browser.takeScreenshot();
            // screenShot is a base-64 encoded PNG
            world.attach(screenShot, 'image/png');
        }
})

CucumberOpts Tags

Following configuration shows to call specific tags from feature files

cucumberOpts: {
    compiler: "ts:ts-node/register",
    strict: true,
    format: ["pretty"],
    require: ['../StepDefinitions/*.ts', '../Support/*.ts'],
    tags: '@TypeScriptScenario or @CucumberScenario or @ProtractorScenario'
}

HTML Reports

Currently this project has been integrated with cucumber-html-reporter, which is generated in the reports folder when you run npm test. They can be customized according to user's specific needs.
